exhaust manifold

[ponogoodin]

hey guys im sorry if this has been asked but im new here and a second time civic owner. i just bought a 1997 honda civic dx that had a stock motor but was slammed to the ground and i have been trying to make it more driveable and reliable and one of the things i have been trying to do was locate a horrible exhaust leak! well i pulled the exhaust manifold today and it is cracked to hell and back and i wondered what options i may have(cheap) it has the cat built in (i think)? could i go header and delete the o2 sensors and be fine? i also have looked at some used ones on ebay that say they will work but look different than mine.any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Don't look on ebay and the cheapest thing to do would be to get an OEM header and cat

Try to find a exhaust manifold off a ex civic. Just swap them.. would be a plus if you could get it with the cat as well then its just plug and play basically

well i was really trying to avoid dropping big bucks on an oem manifold(brand new one) i could maybe do a used oem one.

what would i need to do if i get one with out a cat?

you could probably find a used one for pretty cheap unless you want to get an aftermarket header for a little more money?

i have been seeing that and was wondering does it support the o2 sensors?
price is def. right on it lol

yea, you can see the o2 bungs in the pic

just sent a message to the guy with that header set up looked like it had the o2 sensor threads but in different spots may just have to extend the wiring for it?

i have always been very pleased with ebay stuff pretty much everything other than car parts!
i really am not overly worried about the quality for the most part on this i just need a quick cheap fix for now!
i need to post pics of my stock header it is absolutely horribleatleast ten different cracks in it!!!
